The Dominion now paying for contributions

I’ve had the luck to be involved with some great projects of the years, but by far one of the best – and one that continues to grow by leaps and bounds – is The Dominion newspaper and the adjacent Media Co-op. I’ve been meaning to write more about it for a while now – especially what a co-operative structure can offer as an alternative funding model to simply chasing advertising revenue, but that will need to wait.

In the meantime though, the co-op model is starting to pay off – literally. The Dominion is now paying for up to two articles per monthly issue ($100 each). The call for pitches for the August issue just went out, but you gotta hurry – the deadline to pitch is Saturday, July 4th (if you get an access denied message, just create a free account to log-in).

The Dominion / Media Co-op has a budget to pay two contributors each month.

Pitches are welcome from anyone, but priority goes to those who have previously contributed.

We are actively looking for (and prioritizing) pitches on the following topics (but all pitches with a Canadian angle are considered):

The Dominion / Media Co-op currently pays a flat rate of $100 for pitches that are accepted. Articles are either 800 or 1600 words.

Deadline for pitches: July 4
Response to pitches: July 6
Deadline for accepted articles: July 16
Last possible date to submit an accepted article and still be paid: July 31

If you do not submit something by the “last possible” date, the money will be bumped to the next round of pitches. Please do not pitch if you cannot complete the article by the deadline. The next call for pitches will go out on August 1.
